I have been trying -so far unsuccesfully- to make the ´bidirectional copy/paste´ work from an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS work to a WinXP SP3 host (both 32-bit).
Is there anything that could be done to improve compatibility? any tweaks on the linux side?. Particularly I have found that copying from GUI apps seems to work fine, whereas copying from the terminal console, does the ´copy´ on the Linux guest, but on the XP SP3 host I don´t even get "paste" as if the clipboard is empty. Guest additions are, needless to say, installed. Is there any debug switches I can enable to see what is going on wrt clipboard?. In the meantime I discovered ´wgetpaste´ to paste text files to the pastebin cloud, from the comfort of the linux guest command line ;)... http://wgetpaste.zlin.dk/wgetpaste-2.20.tar.bz2 -yeah, I should probably enable shared folders ;)- Btw: I´m running VBox 4.2.4. I know I´m one release behind, just didn´t get time to update (might as well do it tonight) to 4.2.6 TIA FC PS: Ubuntu got ´´barely useable´ after I installed the guest additions. I blame the darn Unity GUI bloat coupled with the low horsepower of the Atom 450 host and Intel video... will try next to see if I can enable the linux-image-virtual kernel which is supposed to give better performance virtualized, at the expense of no sound and only framebuffer video. apt-get installed it but heven knows how I can enable it on Ubuntu, as the boot screen doesn´t show the usual grub screen for selecting kernels as in Fedora.... -- During times of Universal Deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act Durante épocas de Engaño Universal, decir la verdad se convierte en un Acto Revolucionario - George Orwell ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master SQL Server Development, Administration, T-SQL, SSAS, SSIS, SSRS and more.
